Subject: [social] A new term for "American"

snip...

Statesider, Uesican, Uessian, Unisan, Unisian, United Stater, USAian, 
U.S. American, Usan, USAn, Usanian.

As a practical matter, I do think that we will see international habits change 
with regard to this topic.  People are now traveling so much, and relocating so 
much, that it becomes increasingly difficult to accurately describe where they 
are "from."  

Daniel Carrera himself is an excellent example.  As a Canadian and a 
Venezuelan, his is a North American, a South American, but not a Statesider.  
It is fair to say that the most accurate description of him is simply 
"American" since is his both a North and South American.
